About the author:
Morgan Rhodes lives in Ontario, Canada. As a child, she always wanted to be a princess - the kind that knows how to wield a sharp sword to help save both kingdoms and princes from fire-breathing dragons and dark wizards. Instead, she became a writer, which is just as good and much less dangerous. Along with writing, Morgan enjoys photography, travel, and reality TV, and is an extremely picky yet voracious reader of all kinds of books. Under another pen name, she's a national bestselling author of many paranormal novels. Falling Kingdoms is her first high fantasy. Follow her on Twitter @morganrhodesya.

Our customer reviews
There are about equal parts of this book that I enjoyed and that I hated. At times I felt the plot was a little dry and lifeless. There were points where I was actually fairly bored. But then the last third or so of the book really picked up and redeemed the book as a whole.
I really loved Cleo’s character. She was most definitely my favourite of the bunch. I thought she was well-rounded and complex. I loved Jonas' character too. He was another very real, human character with great character growth. I liked Magnus in the beginning, but then he turned into the NiceGuy™ from hell. And I’m still on the fence about Lucia. There are points in the book where I really liked her character, but then there were moments where she was such a doormat and painfully gullible.
I loved the ending, and to be perfectly honest, it may be the biggest reason why I’ll probably continue with this series (and what bumped the book up from a 3 star read to 4 stars). I’m definitely curious to see how the rest of this story plays out.show more
